COST Action CA18108 Quantum gravity phenomenology in the multi-messenger approach Main aim: to investigate possible signatures predicted by quantum gravity models in the observation of different cosmic messengers , by creating the conditions for a close collaboration between theorists and the various experimental communities involved in the detection of such cosmic messengers.
